Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina primary on Saturday, 15 years to the day he was censured by the House of Representatives and ordered to pay a $300,000 fine for ethical wrongdoing.

It was a tough week for Mitt Romney, who went from winning the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire and leading South Carolina by double digits to only winning one.
